I bought this in April 2013. When I first received it I thought the raw edges would fray over time but I couldn't have been more wrong. 2.5 years later the fabric still looks like new. I drycleaned it for the first years but now I throw it in the washing machine. It is really warm, so versatile and when it is cold I would wear it at least 2 to 3 times a week if not more. It is only now that i am seeing signs of wear ( a small hole under the arms). I will be buying another one soon I am sure.

This jacket/blazer is well made and fitted. I am 5'3" 113 pounds. I usually have a hard time buying jackets or Blazers were the arms are too big and long this fit is perfectly. You can wear it with jeans or nice pants and skirts. It can be worn open, closed with belt (it comes with) or you can close it all the way up to neck it has a hook. Well worth the money a classic timeless piece in your wardrobe. Love it!

Really like this top! The image and description does not tell you everything about this shirt though. The back from the middle-ish down is an open slit. Also, in the first image you cannot tell that the buttons start higher on the shirt than a traditional button down - so that area is open-ish as well (more visible in the 4th image). Overall I love the look!

I did love the detail on these pants. I am usually a 4--sometimes a 6-- and ordered the 4 first. The waist was very big on me and I have a 27 inch waist! The length on the size 4 was ankle length, a bit short for the style of the pant, but not above my ankle bone (I'm 5'7"). It was just okay...I would have preferred longer, but the pants had other cute details.
So I ordered the size 2. It was still large in the waist but I could live with that. Unfortunately the length was about 1 inch shorter and looked ridiculous on me. They were not short enough to be considered cropped, yet too short for a cargo style pant. Sadly I returned. I'm happy to see Helmut Lang is doing some garments with details and styling again, but they need to get the fit right. This used to be my go-to brand a few years ago. Disappointing.

Ordered one Ivory & one medium grey of this item. The fabric is soft & silky but a bit way too stretch. Don't know how long it'll hold the shape well. One side of the shoulder seams of the grey one had a curve projected like an eye-sore which really put me off. A less than perfect item like this is not worth $160 at all. Will send them back !

A great basic and runs true to size. I would have given it 5 stars except that it is a bit more asymmetrical than in the photo and doesn't lie as smoothly as i would like. But overall i like it as it will be great with anything.
